This isn't a smile moment

This isn't a bad guy and a good guy moment.

This is 2 bad people but one politicking better.

The guy said it himself. Harvard has gate kept its knowledge for no one else, other than prestige.

Universities are never on the right side of history, and that's because they represent the elite.

His point still stands. It's no longer possible to gatekeep knowledge, but they still gatekeep network/connections for the elite.

Their lectures really aren't that different from average uni. Most of the value in uni is actually in the feedback lifecycle and networking.
